About the role

  • We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist who will own some of the most consequential diagnostic
  • We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist who will own some of the most consequential diagnostic AI in rare disease: building, validating, and operationalizing the models that help us find and diagnose patients who have never had a name for their disease, powering the analytical rigor behind our testing programs, and shaping how we use data to make smarter product decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end development, validation, and operationalization of PG's predictive diagnostic AI models - from feature engineering through production deployment - that power program eligibility decisions and clinical decisions for patients
  • Build and maintain PG's synthetic patient data pipeline, a critical deliverable for our research programs, and key input to our own model development lifecycle
  • Optimize our patient intake experience using NLP and multimodal data analysis to determine which questions to ask, in what order, to maximize data quality and conversion
  • Own API usage and cost optimization across PG's AI stack, including prompt engineering, model evaluation, and ongoing performance monitoring
  • Work with Data Engineering to build a robust, scalable data foundation that supports all of the above
  • Our data platform is used by drug developers and patient advocacy groups to develop and launch treatments for these patients.

Requirements

  • Strong Python proficiency and fluency across the core data science stack: pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, PySpark, and SQL
  • Demonstrated end-to-end ML experience: you have taken models from problem definition through feature engineering, validation, deployment, and monitoring in a production environment
  • Experience with NLP techniques and applying language models to real-world problems
  • Comfort with prompt engineering and evaluating external AI API performance (e.g., OpenAI)
  • Strong analytical communication skills - you can translate complex model outputs and data findings into clear, actionable narratives for technical and non-technical audiences alike
  • Some things that are not required, but you will learn on the job:
  • Experience with Databricks or similar lakehouse/ML platform environments
  • Familiarity with synthetic data generation techniques
  • Experience with MLOps tooling and building observability infrastructure from scratch

Compensation

  • The salary range for this role is $180,000-$230,000 annually.

Benefits

  • Fair and equitable compensation with competitive early-stage equity grants
  • Generous Flexible Time off policy, that we actually use
  • Parental Leave Benefits (12 weeks for both birthing and non-birthing)
  • Health Benefits including medical, dental, vision, therapy, FSA, and 401k
  • Our technology discovers undiagnosed patients online, analyzes their disease state using machine learning and at-home testing, and enables compliant communication with patients.
  • Hybrid, flexible work with high-trust and autonomy
